Cierre estanco para camión bañera. Watertight closure for tub truck.

Object of the invention

La presente invención, como su propio título indica, se refiere a un cierre estanco para camión bañera, del tipo de los destinados al transporte de lodos u otros materiales contaminantes olfativos, que comprende una cubeta o bañera metálica cerrada posterior y superiormente por compuertas estancas. Más concretamente este cierre está destinado al accionamiento de las compuertas que cierran la bañera superiormente. The present invention, as its own title indicates, refers to a watertight closure for bathtub truck, of the type intended for the transport of sludge or other olfactory contaminant materials, comprising a metal bucket or bathtub closed posteriorly and superiorly by sealed gates. More specifically, this closure is intended for actuating the gates that close the bathtub superiorly.

Background of the invention

Actualmente existen camiones bañera, destinados al transporte de líquidos o lodos de la depuradora, que por diversas causas han de transcurrir por zonas habitadas provocando malos olores y vertidos esporádicos que resultan sumamente desagradables para los habitantes o transeúntes del lugar. Por este motivo se recurre a cubrir la bañera del camión con una lona que protege su contenido, tratando de evitar este tipo de derrames. Currently there are bath trucks, intended for the transport of liquids or sludge from the treatment plant, which for various reasons must pass through inhabited areas causing bad odors and sporadic discharges that are extremely unpleasant for the inhabitants or passers-by of the place. For this reason, the truck's bathtub is covered with a tarp that protects its contents, trying to avoid this type of spillage.

Description of the invention

El objeto de la presente invención se propone garantizar el cierre la bañera en lo que a su cara superior se refiere, ya que en general el cierre posterior de la misma normalmente está garantizado y ofrece la estanqueidad deseada en la mayoría de este tipo de vehículos. Se trata tanto de evitar derrames del producto contaminante, como que los malos olores también fluyan fuera del recipiente al medio ambiente. Paralelamente se ha previsto de un medio de limpieza semiautomático de la bañera, una vez vacía. The object of the present invention is to guarantee the closing of the bathtub as far as its upper face is concerned, since in general the subsequent closing of the bathtub is normally guaranteed and offers the desired sealing in the majority of this type of vehicles. It is both about avoiding spills of the contaminating product, and that bad odors also flow out of the container into the environment. At the same time, a semi-automatic means of cleaning the bathtub, once empty, is provided.

Para ello, la bañera se cierra mediante compuertas superiores que están abisagradas en ambos laterales y se solapan ligeramente en el centro. Las bisagras de estas compuertas presentan una configuración en “L” y se fijan en sendos ejes situados en los bordes laterales y superiores de la bañera, accionados por un medio de transmisión hidráulico o neumático que posibilita el giro de las mismas desde una posición sensiblemente horizontal, abatidas sobre la bañera para cerrarla superiormente, a una posición de apertura total colgando de los laterales de la misma. To do this, the bathtub is closed by upper doors that are hinged on both sides and slightly overlap in the center. The hinges of these gates have a "L" configuration and are fixed on two shafts located on the lateral and upper edges of the bath, driven by a hydraulic or pneumatic transmission means that allow them to rotate from a substantially horizontal position , collapsed on the bathtub to close it superiorly, to a position of total opening hanging from the sides of the bathtub.

El borde superior de la bañera define interiormente un asiento periférico, situado ligeramente debajo de las bisagras de accionamiento de dichas compuertas, el cual queda enfrentado a una junta de goma fijada en la parte interior de las mismas, que cuando se abaten sobre la bañera en posición del cierre, queda aprisionada estableciendo un cierre estanco en toda la periferia. The upper edge of the bathtub internally defines a peripheral seat, located slightly below the actuating hinges of said gates, which is facing a rubber gasket fixed on the inside thereof, which when they are folded over the bathtub in position of the closure, is imprisoned by establishing a tight seal on the entire periphery.

Así mismo, en la zona de solape entre las compuertas se ha previsto en una de ellas por la cara inferior una junta de goma, que se sitúa en correspondencia con un cajeado definido por la cara superior de la compuerta enfrentada, estableciendo un cierre estanco en la zona de unión entre las compuertas, cuando se aplican manualmente una serie concatenada de cierres a presión, situados superiormente, que relacionan las dos compuertas enfrentas a todo lo largo del eje de la bañera. Likewise, in the area of overlap between the gates, a rubber gasket is provided on one of them by the lower face, which is placed in correspondence with a recess defined by the upper face of the facing gate, establishing a tight seal in the area of connection between the gates, when manually applied a concatenated series of pressure locks, located above, that relate the two gates facing along the entire axis of the bathtub.

El asiento existente próximo al borde superior de la bañera constituye también un asiento para una o más vigas de refuerzo transversales, sobre las que apoyan las compuertas de cierre. En una realización preferente, dichas vigas presentan un perfil superior ligeramente en “V” invertida, de forma que marca una posición de las compuertas en su cierre sobre la bañera con una cierta elevación central y caída hacia los laterales. The existing seat next to the upper edge of the bathtub also constitutes a seat for one or more transverse reinforcement beams, on which the closing gates rest. In a preferred embodiment, said beams have a slightly inverted "V" upper profile, so that it marks a position of the gates in their closure on the bathtub with a certain central elevation and fall towards the sides.

Se completa el objeto de invención con un sistema de lavado semiautomático de la bañera del camión. Para ello, se ha dispuesto de al menos un depósito de agua y un circuito hidráulico con salidas al interior de la misma, las cuales comienzan a verter agua primeramente de limpieza, ya sea cuando se acopla una manguera a presión o cuando el sistema hidráulico del vehículo comienza a dar presión al circuito de agua existente en un depósito anexo a la bañera en su parte frontal o inferior. También se ha previsto un circuito y depósito de agua perfumada para aplicar al final del proceso de limpieza que elimine o absorba los malos olores que hayan podido quedar en la cubeta o en su entorno. The object of the invention is completed with a semi-automatic washing system of the truck's bathtub. For this, at least one water tank and a hydraulic circuit with outlets inside it have been disposed of, which begin to pour first cleaning water, either when a pressure hose is attached or when the hydraulic system of the vehicle begins to give pressure to the existing water circuit in a tank attached to the bathtub at its front or bottom. A circuit and scented water tank are also planned to be applied at the end of the cleaning process that eliminates or absorbs the bad odors that may have remained in the bucket or its surroundings.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

Como se puede observar en las figuras referenciadas, se trata de un cierre para un camión de tipo bañera (1), formado por una caja metálica, abierta superiormente y cerrada posteriormente con unas compuertas estancas. As can be seen in the referenced figures, it is a closure for a truck of the bathtub type (1), formed by a metal box, opened superiorly and subsequently closed with airtight floodgates.

Este cierre se efectúa por medio de unas compuertas (2), que en número par abisagran en los laterales superiores de la bañera (1) en sendos ejes longitudinales (3) que discurren por encima de ambos laterales. Dichas compuertas están distribuidas por parejas enfrentadas y normalmente son 2, 4 o 6 unidades independientes, dependiendo de la longitud del camión. This closure is carried out by means of gates (2), which in even numbers hinge on the upper sides of the bathtub (1) in two longitudinal axes (3) that run over both sides. These gates are distributed by facing couples and are usually 2, 4 or 6 independent units, depending on the length of the truck.

Las compuertas (2) cubren en su totalidad la parte superior de la bañera (1) y además están dotadas de medios de apertura completa y de estanqueidad durante el cierre que permiten el llenado y vaciado del camión desde la parte superior y su transporte con garantías de que no existan derrames, ni malos olores. The gates (2) cover the entire upper part of the bathtub (1) and are also equipped with full opening and sealing means during closing that allow the truck to be filled and emptied from the top and transport with guarantees that there are no spills, no bad smells.

Las compuertas (2) están fijadas en bisagras (4), que tienen una configuración en “L” (4), montadas en ejes horizontales (3) por encima de los bordes laterales de la bañera (1) y con orientación hacia el interior de la bañera, de forma que pueden adoptar dos posiciones: cerrada (figuras 1 y 2) en la que las compuertas están en posición sensiblemente horizontal, y abierta (ver figura 3) en la que la compuerta (2) de la izquierda cae por el lateral del camión. The dampers (2) are fixed on hinges (4), which have a "L" configuration (4), mounted on horizontal shafts (3) above the side edges of the bathtub (1) and facing inwards of the bathtub, so that they can adopt two positions: closed (figures 1 and 2) in which the floodgates are in a substantially horizontal position, and open (see figure 3) in which the gate (2) on the left falls by The side of the truck.

La estanqueidad en el cierre se establece en dos puntos: En los laterales al topar la junta de goma (8) presente en cada compuerta (2) por el interior, contra el reborde (10) existente en el interior de la bañera (1). En el centro, en la zona de confluencia entre dos compuertas enfrentadas, por medio de otra junta de goma (11) que se aprisiona en el cajeado (12) existente en la compuerta enfrentada. La disposición de las compuertas en la posición de cierre la establecen una o más vigas transversales (9), que apoyan en el reborde (10) interior de la cubeta y superiormente definen una superficie de apoyo para dichas compuertas. En el ejemplo de las figuras estas vigas (9) tienen una configuración en “V” invertida, de forma que las compuertas forman un ligero ángulo saliente en el centro, quedando más elevadas en el centro de la bañera y con cierta caída hacia los laterales. El cierre efectivo de las compuertas se realiza mediante presillas manuales (5) colocada exteriormente por el encima de las compuertas (2). The tightness in the closure is established in two points: On the sides when the rubber seal (8) is present in each gate (2) inside, against the flange (10) existing inside the bathtub (1) . In the center, in the confluence zone between two facing gates, by means of another rubber gasket (11) that is imprisoned in the cage (12) existing in the facing gate. The arrangement of the gates in the closed position is established by one or more transverse beams (9), which rest on the inner flange (10) of the cuvette and, above, define a support surface for said gates. In the example of the figures these beams (9) have an inverted "V" configuration, so that the gates form a slight protruding angle in the center, being higher in the center of the bathtub and with a certain fall towards the sides . The effective closing of the floodgates is carried out by means of manual clips (5) placed externally above the floodgates (2).

A fin de facilitar la operación de limpieza de la bañera, se ha previsto un circuito hidráulico que tiene salidas dispersas por la periferia de la misma. Este circuito recoge agua de una red hidráulica a presión, o de un depósito anexo a la bañera (1) y le mete presión el hidráulico del vehículo y también dispone de un depósito de agua perfumada (7) con la que se irriga la bañera, una vez lavada, para que no conserve malos olores provenientes de los productos que ha transportado. In order to facilitate the cleaning operation of the bathtub, a hydraulic circuit is provided that has outlets scattered around the periphery thereof. This circuit collects water from a pressurized hydraulic network, or from a tank attached to the bathtub (1) and puts pressure on the vehicle's hydraulic and also has a scented water tank (7) with which the bathtub is irrigated, Once washed, so that it does not retain bad odors from the products it has transported.

Los elementos de transmisión (6) de los ejes (3) de apertura y cierre de las compuertas (2) aprovechan el accionamiento hidráulico del vehículo, que también sirve para accionar el levantamiento y volteo de la caja para su vaciado. Los mandos de accionamiento están situados anexos a la bañera (1) o en el camión tractor. The transmission elements (6) of the axles (3) of opening and closing the gates (2) take advantage of the hydraulic drive of the vehicle, which also serves to drive the lifting and turning of the box for emptying. The drive controls are located attached to the bathtub (1) or in the tractor truck.
